[ET Net News Agency, 3 March 2020] Goldman Sachs said Sunny Optical (02382) delivered
strong shipment numbers in 2019 and Jan 2020, with both handset lens and camera module
shipment stronger than the research house expected.
However, with the continuing Covid-19 situation, which could weigh on Sunny's
February-April shipment, given the supply chain will likely take time to fully recover
production, fiercer competition in the camera space through 2021, and the challenging
situation potentially weighing on the opex ratio.
Goldman lowered its EPS forecasts by 20%/23% for 2020/21. With lower EPS, an unchanged
target PE multiple, and roll over to 2021, its target price is unchanged at HK$150 (23x
2021 PE). It also maintained its "buy" call on Sunny. (KL)
